Youngsville, Broussard, and Lafayette Parish will observe Halloween on Thursday, October 31, 2024, with Trick-or-Treating designated hours from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. that same evening.
Tips from Lafayette Consolidated Government:
- Be sure to be seen – Carry flashlights or glow sticks and add reflective tape or reflectors to dark-colored costumes
- Consider face paint and decorative hats as alternatives to masks that can limit or block eyesight
- Wear flame-retardant costumes and only carry costume props constructed of cardboard to avoid injury
- Travel in groups under the supervision of parents or guardians
- Use sidewalks where available, stay to the side of the road and watch for cars
- Stay in familiar neighborhoods and only visit familiar homes with porch lights on
- Adults should inspect all treats prior to the children enjoying them
- Give and accept wrapped or packaged candy only
- Drive cautiously in neighborhoods and areas where children may be trick-or-treating
- For adults attending parties, please plan ahead and practice responsible drinking. Do not drink and drive.
